For centuries, women have tortured and starved themselves in the hope of reaching the idea of perfect body size to be called sexy.

We can see on the Catwalk, Runways all models are showcasing all the shapes, sizes, and ages and we thought that’s healthy and natural for women. However, after the death of Brazilian models in 2006, all thin & skinny models have been banned on the catwalks and runways in favor of realistic body sizes. A totally drastic change, of course, each of us wanted to have a healthy and shall we say a perfect and sexy body. That’s why there are so many cosmetic surgeries if one wants to repair a not perfect part of her body, but, not everyone has money to undergo such a procedure.

Let’s be realistic, no matter how big or small you are, you should be able to look, feel and dress like a model depending on how you carry yourself. That’s what we call fashion. With Fashion designer clothing you don’t need to preoccupy yourself by thinking you are too skinny, your butt is so big, or you have small or big breasts. Keep in mind that nobody is perfect. Those supermodels we idolize think about how many rice cakes they drop. That’s why we have to be thankful to the designers who banned skinny models and promote healthy and full body girls on the catwalk because they realize that fashion designer clothing comes in all different sizes, shapes, and styles. It is impossible to find a great and perfect fit, no matter what.

Hourglass Shape

The hourglass shape is curvy overall; they say this is the perfect body with a defined waist. The hips and shoulders are similar widths with a medium to large bust and this shape is often achieved by women with the help of a waist trainer. It has fleshy upper arms of average size. The legs are full at the thighs and rear, while the lower legs are slim and shapely.

If you have an hourglass shape you can wear a V-neck dress to enhance the bust and pair it with colored pants or a skirt to draw attention upward and minimize the hips. The dark color is also flattering because it emphasizes the waistline and minimizes the hips.

Triangle or Pear Shape

A woman with a pear shape body has a bust that is smaller than their lower half, and full round fleshy buttocks that are sometimes flat.

Most of the weight is carried in the middle and upper torso. The legs are slender and the arms are thin. The bust is larger than the hips and the buttocks are flat.

The perfect dress for an Oval shape is the asymmetrical style because it draws attention away from the midsection and the dress flatters the wide neckline that lengthens the neck detailing that draws the attention upwards. It is more awesome if you wear knee length skirts or pencil cuts because it flatters the oval shapely legs.
